Open 2 forms (one for data entry, one to view PDF)

Unknown

Is there a way to load up a document viewer in a separate window, and also have a form open at the same time for data entry?
Currently, we are storing PDFs in our process folders, and would like to view the associated PDF in the separate window.

The goal is to allow the end user to take advantage of a multi-monitor setup with the PDF document on one monitor and the data entry form on the other.
